The reappearance of his ex-girlfriend Jean (Katy Davis) threatens to put a damper on Tommy's (Andrew Scott) happy bachelorhood -- but he gets far more than he bargained for when he returns to his apartment to find her dead body. Fearful of becoming a murder suspect, Tommy hatches a plan with pal Noel (Darren Healy) to dispose of the body. But his perfect plan unravels when police dogs track down two corpses in the same place: Jean's, and that of a prominent politician's wife.

Audience Member The acting was brilliant and story was the best one I had seen in awhile, so many things can go wrong and the do, its full and well amazing! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member The life of a young Irishman whose life seems to go nowhere takes a dark turn after he accidentally kills his neurotic girlfriend. The film starts at a highly energetic level only to eventually fade out as it progresses. It's still an interesting gem from the usually ignored Irish cinema. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A great little film holding some impressive acting talent.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Thriller hitchcockien un peu trop poli pour être efficace. Un poil d'humour noir et Kelly Reilly sauvent le film, mais ca va pas plus loin. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A very basic thriller, shot poorly and edited even worse, which, however, is saved by a charismatic performance from its lead, Andrew Scott. I found some of the twists actually surprising, even after watching this in a binge of stronger thrillers, while others could have been more thought out and darker. Oh, I think Kelly Reilly was pretty damn hot it this... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
